Make Money With The Amazon Affiliate Program

It is amazing but a lot of people have no idea that Amazon will pay you
between 4% and 15% of sales when someone refers a customer to the Amazon website
and someone buys something.

This may be the greatest business in the world:

You can get started with minimal investment –under $10

You can access over 5 million book titles and 2.8 million products in hundreds of
categories and subcategories.

You can sell thousands of products yet -
You have no inventory. You take no photos. There is nothing to ship
and…Amazon takes all the risk and collects the money for you.

You have to do some work –but once it’s done, you literally make money while you sleep.

Why Become an Amazon Affiliate?

I have ten good reasons why the Amazon Affiliate program is a good choice:

1. Amazon is a trusted Brand – According to Nielson
Research, Amazon is the most trusted brand and the number one most popular
shopping destination on the web (they just passed eBay this year). Buyers know
Amazon –and trust it. And, they spend more money on Amazon on average than any
other shopping site.

2. People Buy More than One Item – the great thing about
Amazon is that you don’t just earn a commission on the product that you send
people to, but anything that they buy once they’re at Amazon. You earn a
commission on anything a person buys within 24 hours of you sending them to
Amazon. One out of every four shoppers buys more than one item per session.

3. Easy Setup – There are more and more WordPress plugins
and third party tools and website builders that have Amazon Affiliate
integration built into them. This means you have a choice of automated tools
that mean little or no work for you. You can even put Amazon links in your
Twitter and Facebook posts.

4. Choice of Payment – Amazon pays their affiliates in a
number of ways. You can elect to receive an Amazon gift card, check in the mail
or direct deposit to your bank account.

5. Commissions – Amazon uses a sliding scale of commissions
that start at 4% and go as high as 15%. I know one lady who runs an Amazon
affiliate website that reviews expensive sewing machines ($250 to $2,000). She
gets dozens of sales per month.

6. Small Payments Add Up – See above and do some math.

7. Holidays are huge moneymakers – It's not just Christmas.
I always see a big jump in sales on other holidays such as Valentine's Day,
Mother's and Father's Day, Halloween and so on.

8. Huge Array of Products -- What initially attracted me to
Amazon’s Affiliate program was the breadth of products that they had in their
system. This is a great thing if you’re niche is narrow or quite obscure as many
niche marketers find it difficult to find affiliate programs to match their
niche focus. Even if your niche is so narrow you can’t find products, at least
there are books about it. Not counting books, movies and music, Amazon has over
400,000 different products for sale in hundreds of categories and sub-categories.

9. Amazon now sells streaming movies –Amazon recently
entered the market of streaming video downloads –they will shortly begin selling
movies in competition with Netflix. This can add a whole new revenue stream.

10. Amazon gives great support – Unlike other online
shopping and auction sites, Amazon loves their sellers and associates and gives
them great support. Stuck with a problem? Amazon will call you on the phone and
talk to you in less than 5 minutes after requesting a call.

How Much Money Can I Make as an Amazon Affiliate?

Before I discuss this I have to point you to the disclaimer at the bottom of
this page. The Federal Trade Commission has new rules we have to follow when
talking about moneymaking products, so please read –and heed the disclaimer. It
is there for your protection.

I have seen Amazon affiliate sites that were so poorly done they made nothing
or maybe were lucky to earn $20 to $30 per month. And I have seen some that
make well over $1000 per month. But if you speak with experienced Amazon
affiliates they will tell you that the average is probably somewhere around $300
to $500 month, per site, which is why most of the pros have ten or more sites.

Here is a look at my orders summary for the first week of
September, 2017.

That is not many orders (although it is only the first week of the month),
but look at the conversion rate. 5.7% is an excellent conversion rate for the
Internet. Several of the products sold that week were in the over $200 price
range that drives commissions higher.

When I met with Amazon folks last year they told me off the record that they
have hundreds of affiliates earning over $100,000 per year, and thousands
earning between $500 and $5000 a month. But they also have thousands who have
signed up and done nothing –or just earn the occasional ten dollars or so. (Just
keeping it real!)

The bottom line on this question is that it’s up to you. If you have some
imagination and can follow instructions, you will make some money –but there is
no way I can forecast how much. Some folks would be happy to do this and earn
$100 a month, while others really need the income and they will work harder and
earn much-much more.

What Will I Learn About Being an Amazon Affiliate?

First of all we will teach you how the program works. How to sign up and
explain the rules you must follow. Then I take you step-by-step through:

Finding a niche –or several niches

How to select the best niche

How and which products to select within a niche to maximize conversions

How to set up a website or blog that attracts traffic (don’t worry – there
are no technical skills required)

How to create your affiliate links

How to use Amazon widgets (powerful selling tools)

How to maximize commissions

Quick & Easy website Builder

Driving free traffic to your site

How and where to find free content for your site

Using social networks to promote your affiliate links

How to create your own Amazon Store loaded with affiliate commission
generating products

And much-much more…..

So that is just some of the information we will cover in the book.

How much time will I have to Invest as an
Amazon Affiliate?

This is one of those businesses where the time you spend is directly related
to how much you earn. It typically takes about 1 or 2 hours to create an Amazon
affiliate website or blog. One website or blog can earn anywhere from $10 to a
few hundred dollars, or even $1000 or more per month. The key to making more
money is to have more than one website. Some of the largest professional Amazon
affiliates --the ones who make a six-figure income, have dozens of these
sites. But the average guy or gal like us probably has anywhere from three to
ten.

If you work full time and this will be a very part-time endeavor, you could
spend two hours a week and build one website or blog per week. After ten weeks
you would have ten sites generating income. If you don’t work, you could
accomplish the same thing in two or three days.

I Have Very Little Computer or Internet skills –Can I Really Do This?

If you can type, point and click, I will show you how to quickly and easily
set up blogs and/or websites that require no technical skill, programming
language or advanced internet skills.

The real answer to this question is another question: Are you willing to be
patient, follow simple instructions and stick with it if you get frustrated? If
so then literally anyone with an at least average IQ and high school level
writing skills can do this.

How Much Does It Cost And Is There Any Other Investment?

The cost of this course is $17.00 and it comes with my No Questions Asked
Money Back Guarantee. There are some free sites where you can get started if
you have no money at all, but I don’t recommend them. Most people will set up a
hosted blog or website that will cost between $7 and $10 a month for hosting.
There are also a few tools I recommend that you may want in invest in –but those
can wait until you are generating enough income to cover the cost.

Hello
Skip,

I already have six niche Amazon.com websites and do very well with
their affiliate program, but I bought your book anyway out of
curiosity. And guess what? I learned some new stuff I didn't
know. Soit was well worth the small investment. Keep up
the good work.

Amazon does not offer their affiliate program to residents of your state because they have insisted that Amazon collect sales tax on sales by affiliates, so Amazon pulled out of those states.
